Yogyakarta, 24 April 2025 – IKMASA Mentoring #1 was successfully held at the Faculty of Cultural Sciences, Universitas Gadjah Mada, carrying the theme “Ownership Over Obligation: Working With Purpose, Not Just Pressure.” The event featured Garin Arivian Muhammad, S.S., as the main speaker and was attended by students of the Arabic Study Program at UGM who are members of Ikmasa. The mentoring session aimed to foster a deeper awareness of responsibility as a core foundation for both personal and professional growth.
In his presentation, Garin emphasized that responsibility is more than just an obligation imposed from outside, it is a conscious attitude toward one’s role and the impact of one’s actions. His talk covered the meaning of responsibility from various perspectives, the different types of responsibility (personal and professional), and practical steps to become a responsible individual, such as keeping promises, owning one’s actions, setting realistic goals, and engaging in regular self-reflection.
This event is part of Ikmasa’s Leadership and Character Development program, designed to contribute to the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly Goal 4 (Quality Education) and Goal 16 (Peace, Justice, and Strong Institutions). Through this mentoring session, participants were encouraged not only to understand the concept of responsibility but also to apply it meaningfully in academic life, organizational involvement, and future professional paths.
